Configure Node
Manager

Before you begin

Ensure that you have created a machine and that you have installed
and configured Node Manager on each physical machine that contains a
WebLogic Server instance. For more information on creating a machine,
see Create and configure
machines. For
information on installing and configuring Node Manager, see Node Manager Administrator's
Guide.

Node Manager is program that
is used to control WebLogic Server instances. A single Node Manager
instance is used to control all of the server instances running on the
same physical machine. These instances can reside in different clusters,
domains, and such. You must configure each machine in your domain to
communicate with Node Manager.

Note: The values you provide here must correspond to
the values you used to configured the Node Manager
instance.

In the Listen Address field, enter the DNS
name or IP address upon which Node Manager listens.

If you identify the Listen Address by IP address, you must
disable Host Name Verification on Administration Servers that will
access Node Manager. For more information and instructions, see
Using Host Name
Verification in Managing
WebLogic Security.

Enter a value in the Listen Port field.
This is the port where Node Manager listens for incoming
requests.

If you have set the Type field to SSH or
RSH, you should specify values in the Node Manager
Home and Shell Command
fields.
